Note
A regular -ed form doing double duty: the same spelling stands alone as a past tense and follows have or be as a participle. It carries both halves of the verb. He gulped his coffee, gulped down the last of it, the water was gulped: that is eager swallowing, and it takes an object. When someone simply gulped before answering, that is the nervous swallow, used without an object, so it has no passive.
gulped is a form of gulp
